LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: THURSDAY 16 FEBRUARY 2023

ISLANDERS DISCUSS WHERE THEIR HEADS ARE AT

As Casa Amor continues, the Islanders are starting to think about the connections they’ve made and their connections in the other Villas.

Speaking to Cynthia in the main Villa, Casey says: “You’re the girl I’ve definitely been closest with and vibed with the most. It’s just been so nice. It honestly has and I feel like you’re a flirt and I’m a flirt and it’s good.”

He adds: “I think for us boys, no matter what decisions we make, someone’s always going to be upset.” Cynthia says: “I think that’s the thing.” Casey adds: “There’s going to be some broken hearts.”

Meanwhile, Tom is talking to Lydia about where his head is at admitting: “I really don’t know.” Lydia replies: “I can tell.” Tom adds: “There’s qualities in you and Samie that I look for in a girlfriend.”

He says of their kiss on the terrace: “It did feel right.” Lydia says: “Whatever happens, you’ve done what’s right for you.” Meanwhile in Casa Amor Tanya tells Martin: “I’ve come in here to find something for real that will make sense for me. I can only go off what I know.” Martin says: “It’s going to be interesting…”

NEWS OF A RECOUPLING REACHES BOTH VILLAS

Suddenly putting a timer on their decisions, both Villas then receive a text bringing their time at Casa Amor to an end.

The girls at Casa Amor’s message reads: “Girls, tonight there will be a recoupling in which you must decide whether you want to remain coupled with your partner back in the Villa or recouple with one of the new boys #CasaNomore.”

Meanwhile at the main Villa the boy’s message says: “Boys, tonight there will be a recoupling in which you must decide whether you want to remain coupled up with your girl who has been living in Casa Amor or recouple with one of the new girls #JudgementDay.”

MAYA MAKES HER RETURN

As the Islanders in the main Villa anticipate the impending recoupling they all gather around the fire pit. Host Maya Jama then makes a dramatic return, as she says: “Hello hunnies, how are you doing?” Maya goes on to say: “Ok boys, stay where you are and girls come and line up next to me.”

Maya tells the boys “Casa Amor is the ultimate relationship test, it’s a test of trust. Do you trust that your girl has stayed loyal to you or do you think she will have strayed? I’m going to ask you one by one whether you want to stick with your current partner or whether you want to recouple with one of these girls standing right in front of you.”

She adds: “The girls at Casa Amor have also been given the choice of whether they want to stick with you or recouple with one of the new boys. It’s time to make your decisions and also find out what the girls have chosen to do.”

THE CASA AMOR RECOUPLING TAKES PLACE

As the recoupling gets underway Casey is first to be asked to make his decision. Casey admits: “It’s not been an easy decision at all…” Is his connection in Casa Amor stronger than what he had with Claudia?

And as the decisions continue, who is left buzzing, who is left shocked and who is left single?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
